Excerpt from Major Latin, Declensions, Conjugations, Syntax: Roman Customs; For High Schools and Preparatory Schools

The Topics and Paradigms, transplanted and enlarged from Book I, preserve their natural visualization, and save time for the student and for the teacher. The broader horizon and the fuller understanding of the content of Roman life will bring increased pleasure to the reader.

The Eight Parts of Speech form the framework of the whole study; and words are grouped throughout accordingly.

Phrases and sentences illustrating the paradigms are provided abundantly; yet new sentences should be supplied in addition at the discretion of instructors as special needs require.

Each Vocabulary presents a picture of its own. The double-column pages give opportunity of showing the two sides of a subject; for example, the substantive and the adjective properties of a Pronoun.

The Verb is introduced gradually, but finally is completely summarized in Paradigm form. The treatment of Syntax provides for the reading of any representative Latin author in prepa ration for college. But the pupil himself is the main object in hand; it is not so much a work about Latin as a work in Latin, an endeavor to present the Roman point of View in the Roman manner to his advantage. By this method Secondary Latin becomes a progressive pleasure rather than a meaningless toil.
